Chapter 660: Where there is profit, there must be supervision
Turning your face is faster than turning a book.
Zhu Hao thought to himself, this product is really stupid, it is obviously your silver, I used it to rob the silver number, and completely started the reputation of the silver number, so that people know that the silver number is very safe to store silver, and then return the silver that originally belonged to you, you can make a good person?
"Marquis Jianchang, hurry up and find someone to finish counting the silver, and I can go back to my life. But before you go, you have to sign the receipt." Zhu Hao said.
Zhang Yanling laughed: "What's not to believe in this? Someone, go find the bookkeeper!"
The old servant whispered, "Master, the account office has not come back yet."
Zhang Yanling was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that because his account office was still young, he had been dragged by him to rob the silver number before, and as an accomplice, there was still no trace, I don't know whether he was dismissed or in prison, or punished and exiled, it is difficult to say.
"Then find someone to count it."
Zhang Yanling said angrily.
The old servant said, "Master, they are all good official silver, and I think that the amount should be similar, so I will weigh the copper coins with a scale, and it will probably be fine!"
"Isn't that in a hurry?"
The old servant retreated with a disgraced face.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, some of which are copper coins, for this old servant, to complete the weighing is not an easy job.
"Zhu Hao, Ben Hou forgot to ask you, who are you doing the errand for? This silver ......" Zhang Yanling waited for the money, suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhu Hao, who was waiting next to him.
Zhu Hao smiled: "Run an errand for the imperial court."
Zhang Yanling said angrily, "Ben Hou asked you, is it for Yang Ge Lao? Could it be that Yang Ge Lao helped Ben Hou get the silver back?"
"It's not."
Zhu Hao shook his head, "Elder Yang Ge is indifferent to this, and even His Majesty's proposal to let the two Hou Masters return home earlier was also vetoed by Yang Ge Lao, and His Majesty has repeatedly instructed the Criminal Department to treat the two Hou Masters well and not to use torture. Your Majesty is grateful for the kindness of the Queen Mother, and decided to return the silver of the two princes, and also accepted your appeal, saying to the outside world that you went to the silver account to withdraw money that day, and it was not a blatant robbery."
"Oh, I see...... But, aren't you very close to Yang Jiefu's son?"
Zhang Yanling was a little puzzled.
Zhu Hao said, "They are all on an errand for His Majesty, what's the difference? Oh yes, I was born in Xingwangfu, and I am a native of Luzhou, Guang'an, Hu, and my majesty is a fellow countryman...... In the future, I hope that Jianchang Hou will take care of it."
"Well said."
Zhang Yanling couldn't figure out what the situation was.
He secretly wondered, didn't he say that the new emperor and the surnamed Yang were incompatible?
How could the surnamed Yang reuse a champion from An Lu and let his son mix with him? Is it moral corruption or a distortion of human nature......
To live or to perish, these are the questions.
Zhu Hao was not worried about what Zhang Yanling would go out to promote.
If you have the ability, you will go to Yang Tinghe and there to spread the word, it is originally to work on both sides, who is not to do it?
As Zhu Hao said, Lao Tzu is an errand boy for the imperial court.
The one surnamed Yang wants to target me, just come!
……
……
Zhu Hao and Zhang Yanling completed the handover and went to the Shouning Marquis Mansion again.
Zhu Hao's treatment in the Shouning Marquis Mansion was much better than in the Jianchang Marquis Mansion, after Zhang Heling received the money, he directly took Zhu Hao's hand and entered the living room, saying that he wanted to invite Zhu Hao to dinner.
Zhang Heling said: "As soon as I look at you, I know that you are the kind of resourceful sage, don't blame my second brother, he has no brains!" If it weren't for your whimsical idea and saying that our brother was going to get money that day, I guess even if Your Majesty wanted to help us, I don't know what excuse to use. By the way, what's your name?"
Zhu Hao smiled bitterly, I forgot what my name was, it's better than your brother, what are you doing here?
Zhu Hao smiled: "Zhu Hao, the word respects."
"Good name, I will definitely promote and reuse you in the future, if you have something, you can come and spread the word! Alas, by the way, how do I remember that Meng Zai told you in front of me? It's Jiang Mengzai, Yutian Bo, do you know?"
Zhang Heling didn't know which string in his heart was touched, and suddenly asked.
Zhu Hao said: "Zai Xia and Yutian Bo are also old friends, both from Huguang'an Luzhou."
"Oh, that's the case, that's good, call him in the future, let's have dinner together, you remember to call me if there's something good...... Come, come, I'll have someone arrange a feast for you. Let's have a good drink."
Zhang Heling is a little stupid, but he can still be reasonable, Zhu Hao helped him, and he wanted to repay the favor.
Zhu Hao had no plans to eat at the Shouning Hou Mansion at all.
Zhu Hao said: "When you are on an errand for the imperial court, you can't delay, and you have to leave when you finish your work. Shou Ninghou, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will be a guest at the East Banquet."
"This ...... Why are you embarrassed to break the bank? Then I'll make an appointment later." Zhang Heling was polite, but in fact, he didn't want to spend money to invite Zhu Hao to dinner.
is not familiar with Zhu Hao, and in his eyes, Zhu Hao is just an errand boy, and he doesn't think he can get much benefit from Zhu Hao.
……
……
Zhu Hao finished his errands and when he came out, Lu Song was waiting outside.
"Alright, it's okay, everything is in order, let's go back."
Zhu Hao smiled.
Lu Song said, "Lord Su came back from Xuanfu and said he wanted to see you."
Zhu Hao nodded, and went with Lu Song to see Su Xigui.
After going to Xuanfu to deal with everything, Su Xigui, who returned to the capital, completely let go of the burden in his heart, and the whole person seemed to be much more energetic, and as soon as he saw Zhu Hao, he came forward to salute and greet him.
"I specially prepared a small gift ...... below."
Su Xigui didn't say what he wanted to give, but he was anxious to say something.
Zhu Hao helped him a lot this time, and notified him in advance to fill in the loopholes in the previous Xuanfu, so that even if Yang Tinghe sent someone to check the old accounts over the years, he couldn't find any clues, and all the human and physical evidence were wiped out by him at one time.
Zhu Hao raised his hand to interrupt Su Xigui's words, and said with a smile: "Su Dong is polite, there is no need for gifts, mutual benefit and reciprocity, I don't want Huang Gong to be unable to continue to do things for the court because of the attack of the villains in the court, otherwise it will definitely be a loss for the Ming court."
Su Xigui said: "The gift still has to be given, this time the little master has contributed a lot, so he has to accept it, otherwise he will be at ease!"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I really didn't make any efforts...... Besides, let's wait until things settle down completely."
"Yes, yes."
Su Xigui was submissive, but obviously he gave the gift not only to thank Zhu Hao for his help before, but also to let Zhu Hao continue to play a role in front of the new emperor, to ensure Huang Zhan's status in the Southern Sixth Division, and to prepare for Huang Zhan to come to the Northern Household Department to be a scholar in the future.
"Little master, drink tea and drink tea...... After returning to the capital, I know that you are amazing, and the people who have come to the silver number to deposit silver in the past few days are no less than 100 large households, and there are countless rich people who come to deposit silver! This time, it can be said that everyone in the world knows that the silver trumpet is guaranteed by the imperial court, and the safety of the silver is absolutely guaranteed. The little master is really a man of God."
Su Xigui complimented Zhu Hao again.
Zhu Hao said: "Now that there is more silver, the risk is correspondingly greater, all accounts must be clear and clear, and bad debts are ......."
"We have been reviewing the qualifications of all those who come to borrow money, and at present, there is no collateral and will not lend, so you can rest assured. Contemptible people also understand. This is a matter of peace and tranquility in the Ming Dynasty, if there is any deviation...... I'm afraid that the contemptible people will not be able to afford to lose their money!"
Although Su Xigui didn't say anything about it, he knew very well that if there was really a problem in the accounts, the responsibility would definitely be borne by him.
Zhu Hao and Zhu Si behind him are actually mainly to provide policy support and realize it with policies.
Su Xigui is responsible for specific operations, relying on personal connections and specific operations to obtain profits.
Zhu Hao nodded: "After this matter is over, the silver horn officially moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, I believe that someone will make a fuss about it in the next step and propose to supervise the silver horn, but from a certain point of view, the spontaneous behavior of the private businessmen in the matter of the silver horn has nothing to do with the imperial court!"
"You have to grasp the balance of this, me
What can be done is not to involve the Ministry of Households, but the Inner Government may play an important role in this."
"Yes, yes!"
Su Xigui nodded one after another.
Zhu Hao said: "Your Majesty's original intention was to use the East Factory to supervise the silver trumpet......
"Ah, this ......"
Su Xigui was obviously reluctant.
Even if Dongchang is also the new emperor's person, but most of the eunuchs who are physically disabled are vampires, and Su Xigui of Zhengde Dynasty has seen too much, and one more layer of jurisdiction means one more layer of exploitation, plus it is really difficult to say whether the people of Dongchang can act like Zhu Hao and talk about rules and efficiency.
Once the silver number is contaminated with bureaucracy, it will be difficult to operate for a long time.
Su Xigui has always believed that only Zhu Hao is the best business partner, and the most important thing is that Zhu Hao understands the rules of businessmen very well, that is, honesty and trustworthiness.
Zhu Hao said: "Of course, I told Your Majesty that as long as the silver number is operating normally, there is really no need to add manpower to it, at most, I can allocate a few people who are in charge of the accounts and calculate the accounts clearly."
"That's ......."
Su Xigui understood.
Now Zhu Hao will not participate in the daily operation of the silver number, but he does not want to relax the supervision of the silver number.
You Su Xigui are all about putting interests first, who knows that you won't play some conspiracy tricks in managing accounts?
What is involved is not tens of thousands of taels of silver, but millions of taels or even millions of taels, and it will exceed the scale of tens of millions of taels of silver in the future.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Lord Su, don't be so restrained, tell me about the current situation in the south and Xuanfu, I am in the capital, and I don't know anything about other things, how is your business doing now?"
"It's alright."
Su Xigui sighed: "The little master also knows that the contemptible people are mainly engaged in official salt trading, and this year's drought in the south, especially in the coastal areas, there has been no rain for several months, and continuous high temperature exposure is not a good thing for the people, but the output of official salt has increased significantly. Stove households can now make salt without firewood, and their enthusiasm for production has increased a lot, and many runaways have obediently returned to work.
In the past, not to mention the hard work of the stove households, they didn't make much money, and there were many people who deserted in the end.
But since Daming changed the salt drying method, the stove household has become fragrant.
Su Xigui sighed heavily: "It's just that the situation in the southern household department is not very good, but it is said that in the past few years, the southern part of the country has been plagued by disasters, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred one after another, and the northern household has been constantly urging the payment of grain, which has made Huang Gong anxious. Rao is a talented Huang Gong, and now he has the idea of retiring, but he doesn't know when he will ......."
Vaguely talking about Huang Zan again.
Su Xigui is a political broker, and his goals are two.
One is to make money, and the other is to make the backer more powerful, so as to make more money.
Although the new emperor is also his backer, his real backer can only be Huang Zhan, Huang Zan is promoted, and he can be invincible in the mall.
"Come on, next year."
Zhu Hao gave a relatively reliable time.
This is tantamount to telling Su Xigui that the old civil and official forces will fall in the coming year.
